The Movie Database Support

I've been trying to get movies by their ID, but I receive an error message that my api key isn't valid (which seems unlikely to me). I am programming in C#.

The first thing I do is searching movies by title, for which I use the following: http://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?query=[movie_title]&api_key=[my_api_key]

From the data which I receive here I want to get additional information, like movie genre, etc. For this I use the following: http://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/[id]&api_key=[my_api_key]

When I do this, I get the following error message: {"status_code":7,"status_message":"Invalid API key: You must be granted a valid key."}

Which seems highly unlikely to me, as I used it just before to get the movie id, and then it worked. Is there something I am doing wrong, or with the format I use?

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance

Hi vvandereijk,

Your first call is correct as you've started your HTTP params with the proper designation ?. It's only subsequent params that are to be set with an ampersand &. So, your second call there, should be:

http://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/ID?api_key=###

Cheers.

Thanks a lot!
